So I thought I would just briefly share my experience of the Sunday at the big weekend, so anyone else who went will most likely disagree :-p. Just a quick few points:

Best Crowd response: Justice/Pendulum... everyone in the tent got going!

Biggest crowd for the Tent size: Pendulum easily. The crowd was outside the tent, about 10-20 rows deep

Suprise artist of the day: Nelly

Disappointment: Hot Chip

I caught about 20 minutes of Zane Lowes DJ set aswell. He really got the crowd going and I wish I stuck around to see a bit more of it!

I cant think of anymore categories, so if anyone wants to add any categories/disagree, then make your posts below!!

Highlight for me was definatly Pendulum. They played all their greatest tunes and the crowd was mental. When slam came on the tent was electric.

I thought the Kooks rounded off things nicely, although the guys behind me trying to build a human pyramid whilst raving drunk were a bit annoying!

The weather was one of the best bits of the weekend though - Amazing!

I'm listening to Huw Stephens at the moment. The two live Hot Chip songs he played stuff definitely didn't sound as good as when I saw them live last month (that show was fantastic). The sound on a big outdoor stage certainly wouldn't be as good as at a small concert venue like Métropolis, but it's not just that; Alexis isn't singing as well on this. But I'm sure it was just as good for dancing.

    • I think Jack Saunders if in for the long haul may mature and develop as a presenter with the opportunities to do big interviews and features. I think I really enjoyed him doing the late version of the indie show the presentation style of future artists got repetitive of presenting as if every show is the first time the shows on air with over explaining the purpose. But think this show could have a different approach 
    • Not a fan of Jack Saunders, but ...  This is a marked improvement over Clara Amfo (almost anything would have been) - And it's also better than what JS was doing in his previous slot - He's definitely been listening back to Zane Lowe, and drawing lessons from that.
    • @lochnessa what an incredible feature, really do miss the games from that show
    • Life Hacks is on 20.00-22.00 on Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th & Wednesday 15th May - in place of Future Artists and Future Pop.
    • Brother or Lover? WhooooOOOOooooeoeehrheroooooooooo.
    • What's your morning routine when you're working?
    • I feel like we all know how they'll answer that!
    • Makes sense, I always assumed they all went for 1D members regardless.
    • Do you prefer doing Capital Breakfast to Radio 1 or the other way round?
    • Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year.  They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart. 
    • I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.
    • Zayn's current song isn't on the R1 playlist so would be odd for him to do an interview I guess, not sure either would want it?
    • You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?   I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital? 
    • What do you both miss most about your time at R1?
    • How are you finding the early mornings, and having your afternoons free? Was it easy getting to grips with a different desk and play out system? Do you have any upcoming OBs and anything else exciting planned for the show that you can exclusively share with Unofficialmills? 😀
